COMMENT ABROAD.

How the Anniversary Is Regarded by the
English Press and People.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
LONDON, Sept. 16.-The centennial celebration
at Philadelphia is attracting universal attention
here in England, and with the exception of q
few habitual erumblers who sneer at everything
American, favorable comment is heard on every
hand. The daily papers devoting consider
able space to the subject, both in their news
columns and edisorially. The Daily News says:
"The experiment which has now been in prog
ress across the Atlantic for over a century is
the most conclusive that has been pre-
sented in the history of humanity. With Amer
lea among the nations of the first rank the
humblest may take hope The true anniversary
of humanity is being celebrated"
Words like these exhibit the spirit shown to-
wards America in her triumphant celebration
by tie English press in general especially the
less Conservative papers During the last
dozen years the tone of the British government
things American has changed considerably,
and now, in place of the old-time ridicule and
peevish. not to say insolent, criticism that was
formerly meted out to Americans and their in
stitutons, a respectful. and far intelligent
manner is exercised in Judging their transat-
lantic cousins. There are two reasons for this
change. One is that of late years the invasion
of England by Americans has been extensive
that John Bull has been brought into closer re-
lationship with brother Jonathan, and
finds that he is not such a bad
or uncouth fellow, after all. He has
many points in common with himself
and with few exceptions the same likes and
dislikes. The other reason for this change of
English opinion lies in the cupioity of the insu-
lar heart. The vast sums of money that leave
America every year, the bulk Of which finds its
way into the purses of British tradesmen and
hotel hosts. is a powerful means of exciting the
respect which exists for the American traveller,
and this is gradually extended to his country
Credit, however. should be given TO the
honest and gradually increasing respect shown
to Americans which is due to the fact that the
efforts made to learn more about them have
suited in truly enlightening the British mind in
regard 10 American institutions.

THE DOOMED ANARCHISTS.
They Hold Consultation as to What Should
be Done By Their Lawyers and Friends.


CHICAGO. Sept 16.-A consultation as to
themselves, was neld by the condemned Anarch-
lists this morning. They talked over the same
thing yesterday. and renewed the discussion this
morning. They came from their cells at $50,
and until $50 they talked earnestly, and turned
the matter over for and against. close friend
of all the men, and q prominent member of
the Defense Association, saw them this morn
ing to know the result of the discussion.
He was induced to say that they had discussed
two things-one the question of whe Their they
shall appeal to the Supreme Court of the United
States and the other. the monster pet ition it is
proposed to get up, pleading for executive Glenn
ency. The last measure was voted against by
every man there They feel said the informant,
that they have done nothing for which to ask
the pardon OF society, and that society ought
rather to ask their pardon. AS
for the appeal to the Supreme Court, that is a
they may use every resource to be found in the
laws. and then if they die, their death will ac-
cuse the system. The member of the Defense
Association said tn at three of the condemned
men were opposed to an appeal to the Supreme
Court, but he refused to disclose their names.
He also said that no matter what the final de-
clslon OF the men was, their friends would go
ahead and make every effort for a reversal of
the judgment by the Supreme Court. In the
event of that falling, petition would be gotten
up
1t is stated as probable that the counsel for the
condemned Anarchists will apply for writ Of
error TO Justice Samuel +. Miller of the
United States Supreme Court Judge Miller is
known to be strongly opposed to capital punish
probably induce him TO grant writ of error
should he be applied to for that purpose. It is
stated as more than probable that Gen. Roger
